Five Bedroom Home for Sale in Hanover, NH

Whenever you hear someone refer to a property as “a true Hanover classic,” this is the house they mean. Nestled at the back of one of town’s most convenient and quiet “walk-to-everything” neighborhoods full of lovely homes, this 1927 Trumbull and Nelson steel-beamed and wood-framed Colonial is a testament to the homebuilder’s art. Updated and expanded by the current owners, the kitchen and family addition was drawn by local architect Randal T. Mudge, and blends the new and existing spaces together seamlessly. The house has all the advantages of a traditional center hall colonial layout, with formal and informal living and dining spaces on the first floor and bedrooms on the second and third levels. The vestibuled entry leads directly to a graciously proportioned living room with a wood-burning fireplace on the left, the formal dining room to the right, and an office lined with built-ins straight ahead. Charming details like original hardwood floors, detailed millwork, corner cabinets, and built-ins are found throughout. The kitchen, renovated with a classic sensibility and enduring design choices, is conveniently located just off the sunny and open family room, the mudroom, dining room, and screened porch as well as a first-floor powder room. The second floor is comprised of three amply sized, bright, and cheery bedrooms all with windows on two walls, that share a hall bathroom, plus a spacious primary bedroom suite with cathedral ceilings, walk-in closet, and an attached bath with a soaking tub and shower. The central staircase extends up to the third floor and the fifth bedroom that features a walk-in closet and small attached office. Outside is a serene, open and flat .77-acre backyard with established gardens and landscaping, a spacious screened porch and deck, a large masonry firepit, and plenty of privacy. The 2-car detached and one-car under garages have space for storage. Bright, charming, and perfectly located, this is a gem.
